Chapter 763: Bull Ghost Snake God
Whoever obstructs the banking department is supporting black-hearted loan sharks!
But it can't be said that Wang Ju is biased.
The banking department is not a panacea, and there will be disputes of one kind or another during the implementation, but compared with the Seedlings Law, it is indeed much less disadvantaged, and its role is really great......
First, it solved the problem of a serious shortage of currency in the Song Dynasty.
Second, it will definitely prosper the economy of the Song Dynasty.
The three imperial courts must have benefited a lot, and this benefit was turned into various policies for the benefit of the people by Wang Ju, and now it has not yet begun, and the households have begun to decline, and there is no doubt that the people's taxes are also relaxed.
But Wang Ju was not finished, he continued: "Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Qin Kai, the general of the Yan State, broke through the Donghu Dynasty, expanded the land for more than 1,000 miles, and once expanded the territory of the Yan State to the entire Liaodong and northern Goryeo. Li Mu of Zhao State broke the Huns, beheaded 100,000 people, exterminated the ragged, defeated Donghu, and descended Linhu. They were only a candidate state during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, not a unified country. Han Tang was also bullied by the Hu people for a time, but was quickly beaten by Han Tang. Even when the feudal towns were divided, the Hu people did not dare to enter the Central Plains to make trouble. But what about our dynasty, known as the richest country in history, and now it is also the most populous country in history, not to mention Liao, not even a Western Xia can solve it. Isn't it strange that it is not as good as a candidate country? ”
"Is it because the soldiers are not brave? Ladies and gentlemen, how many battles were there on the battlefield between our dynasty and Xia Liao, and the officers and men of the three armies preferred to be wiped out, but none of them surrendered? Could it be that the armor is bad and the supplies are insufficient? Your Majesty, ladies and gentlemen, you do not realize that there has been a major mistake! ”
"Wang Qing, where is the mistake?"
"I'm a great doctor and I know water conservancy. Know about farming production. I know the manufacture of armor. Proficient in commerce and trade, all of them are still military strategists, can be civil and martial, can work, business, agriculture and politics, tsk, really powerful, such as when Tang Taizong was alive, I saw that our dynasty can have so many comprehensive talents. Let's be envious, too. The most important thing is that many scholars and doctors can no longer be able to do things, and they can turn black and white upside down, so that those who want to do things with peace of mind and want to make our dynasty more prosperous have been turned into villains and traitors, while a group of greedy people have become gentlemen. What a gentleman! ”
Fan Chunren couldn't hold back his face and said, "Xu Xi is indeed a mistake of the imperial court. ”
"In fact, not only Xu Xi, but also your father also made mistakes! During the Qing calendar, it was rumored in the Western Xia that there was a Han in the army, and the heart of the Western Xia was cold. There is a model in the army. Xixia was shocked when he heard this. Fan Youcheng, do you think your father and Han Gong have this kind of ability? ”
Fan Chunren was speechless.
Actually, Fan Zhongyan is a little better. Although many forts were built at the expense of their lives, there were no major mistakes.
As for Han Qi, good water!
"I haven't even won a slightly brilliant victory, Your Majesty, I don't know where to make Xixia's heart chill and break his fear? But why are there these two rumors, in fact, there were not no talents suitable for the main general in the army at that time, and there were Zhang Kang, Chong Shiheng and Wang Xin, Di Qing has performed well in the northwest, that is, Wang Kai, Miao Jixuan, Gao Jixuan are also more suitable than Han Gong Fan Gong to serve as the main general, and there are Guo Zun, Wang Qi (referring to the general Wang Qi who died in the battle of Shuichuan), Sang Yi, Zhang Qi, Zhou Mei and other brave generals. However, with the spread of the two ballads of Western Xia, the whole world only knows Han Gong and Fan Gong, but they don't know these people. ”
"Wang Qing, you said that the Xixia people deliberately spread these two sentences?"
"Your Majesty, the minister doesn't know, but don't underestimate Zhang Yuan and Wu Hao in Qingli, the minister will say one more thing, the minister was in Yanzhou when he was a teenager, life was very difficult, and the people he met were just a group of ordinary border people, but they all knew Zhang Kang and Zhang Qi, but Her Royal Highness the eldest princess brought these evaluations to Renzong, Renzong felt at a loss, and then asked Zhang Kang, only to know that Zhang Kang was deliberately refrigerated by a group of scholars, and was placed in Xuzhou as an inexplicable governor of Xuzhou, and he also passed away......"
"Your Majesty, please send someone to record this passage."
Zhao Ji nodded to the yellow door beside him, and the little yellow door immediately took out a pen, ink, paper, and inkstone to prepare for the record.
"Your Majesty, I only say three people, they are not military generals, but Jinshi and the first minister, one is the minister himself, although the minister knows a little about the military, but what experience does the minister have, when he was a teenager, he killed thieves, took the people of a village, resisted hundreds of invading Western Xia soldiers, and then went to Huachi County, and then to the Battle of Dashun City, and then to the Battle of Gyeongju, which grew up step by step. In this way, whenever a big war comes, the ministers are still cautious and negotiate with the generals, lest mistakes occur. But in fact, it was so careful, and in the Battle of Gyeongju, there were still many mistakes one after another, which almost affected the direction of victory and defeat. ”
"The second person is Wang Shao, who has been wandering in the Xihe River for nearly ten years with a small official and almost knows everything about the Xihe River, so he has achieved a great victory in the river. The third person is Zhang Zhifu, who is quite talented in military affairs, and also participated in the Battle of Dashun City and the Battle of Gyeongju, but after arriving at Yunnan Road, he had a long talk with his ministers, especially the military arrangements, lest he do not understand and make command mistakes. One is growth, the second is careful, the third is good at listening to the opinions of his subordinates, and the fourth is his own talent, so he was lucky to win. But let me ask, every time the imperial court parachutes a soldier and serves as the chief general of one party, can it not fail miserably? ”
"This is true of the military, and even more so of the economy, which is the cornerstone of the country. Especially in the future, the three divisions, the banking division and the southern 12th road shipping division, will be the most important cornerstone of the country, why, such as the southern 12th road shipping division, after the opening of the banking division, the household has declined, the two taxes will inevitably be insufficient, including the grain and silk needed by the imperial court, then the southern 12th road shipping division is needed to go and buy. If officials do not understand the economy, it is a disturbing move to force and buy assessments. If officials understand the economy, carefully regulate and control them, and enter and buy grain from areas where the price of grain is low, they will not only avoid the pain of apportionment and purchase, but also avoid the situation of low grain prices that hurt the peasants. Only by putting the right people in the right positions and sharpening them can the country prosper and give them the trust of the imperial court. ”
"If you really think that the scholars are omnipotent, the country is in danger. Just like the battle of Yongle City, the minister is not very familiar with Xu Xi, but he has a little contact with Shen Kuo, and this person is good at miscellaneous studies. For example, mathematics, physics, astronomy, water conservancy, and so on. But does he understand the military? However, this miscellaneous science is just as important. The country lacks the relevant talents. Ru Cheng Fang...... People who know miscellaneous science are not placed in their suitable positions, but let him go to Yanzhou to lead the troops, and the minister can't figure it out. ”
"Ladies and gentlemen, I am not suppressing scholars, the biggest foundation of the actual country is government governance, this is the duty of scholars, military, economic, water conservancy and other aspects, let professionals be responsible. Why should the scholars fight, just like I go to fight for the official position of the Ministry of Rites, isn't it the biggest joke? ”
The effect of these words is not now, there is no problem now, just like the Southern Twelfth Road Shipment was originally a minister named Zhang Yan to replace Zhang Shangying, and after Wang Ju came back, he immediately asked Lu Huiqing to replace Zhang Yan.
Lu Huiqing turned out to be the governor of Taiyuan Mansion, but because of his poor performance, Zhao Ji was demoted to Zhishanzhou, and he served as the envoy of the 12th Route in the South with his qualifications. No one doubts it.
However, talents are placed in the right position, although Lu Huiqing is not as good as Xue Xiang in financial management. But at least it's not worse than Zhang Shangying.
But this is now, and what about six years from now?
"I understand, Shen Kuo can preside over the Ordnance Supervisor or that new mechanical workshop......"
"Medium." Wang Ju said.
After the Battle of Yongle City, Shen Kuo also became a lonely ghost, demoted to the deputy envoy of the Junzhou regiment, and was placed in exile with the state......
But it may not work, if there is a Song Huizong in the future of the Song Dynasty, even with this record, it cannot be implemented, and if there is a Song Gaozong, it will continue to suppress the military generals.
Now the problem is not this, Xie Jingwen said: "What about this case? ”
"As the prince said, let's wait for Han Shaoqing's news. But I hope that the person was indeed beaten to death by Zhang Mu, and that the confession in the maritime lawsuit on the other side was a false confession forced by torture. In this way, although the law enforcement of the Duke of Wen was slightly biased, the maritime merchants were indeed suspected of being bold and reckless, and the two sides mediated, and the big things turned into small things. If it wasn't for Zhang Mu, it would be really troublesome. If the civil servant is not satisfied, it will bring about a series of serious consequences, and even the banking department cannot be established. If it is dealt with severely, Gong Wen will not affect one or two people, I am afraid that among those present, there will be people who are not satisfied with the court judgment, such as Fan Youcheng, how do you think Gong Wen should be punished? ”
"Gong Wen also owes a lot to the society."
"Okay, just use merit to atone for the crime, if so, why didn't Fan Youcheng speak out for me when I was impeached by everyone the year before last. In terms of merit, can Wen Gong compare with me? But a mistake is a mistake, so before I came, I asked His Majesty to promise me to serve as an official for six years, and at the end of the six years, I must leave the court. Why, if I did something wrong, I can't be a scholar anymore, it's just that the country still needs me, so I have to give orders in danger! ”
Fan Chunren was speechless.
"The banking department is not as important as you think, I will only use a simple analogy, because the emergence of the banking department will promote the development of all walks of life, including many people began to build houses. I only say that an ordinary brick house, the construction cost is 60,000 yuan, 60,000 yuan, of which 10,000 yuan is used to entertain craftsmen and help neighbors and villagers, then it will undoubtedly promote the market of wine, meat and vegetables for 10,000 yuan, and 20,000 yuan is the wages of craftsmen, then many craftsmen will have a better life, and of course, they will buy more commercial goods. 30,000 yuan is the cost of various materials, so it will undoubtedly feed many kiln timber merchants and craftsmen. In this way, once we add 10,000 or 100,000 new houses a year, how many people will be fed, how many people will become richer, and how many additional commercial taxes will the imperial court get? What does it mean to be self-sufficient without taxes, this is! ”
"Not only is the country self-sufficient, but it has also benefited many people, so on this road, no cow, ghost, snake or god can destroy it!"
Wen Yanbo rose to the height of the cow ghost snake god!
Fan Chunren couldn't help but fight a cold war, this time the old text was in trouble! I hope that those maritime merchants used torture to extract confessions, and when the time comes, they will be able to make a little cunning.
However, he was greatly disappointed.
Wang Huan, Han Jinqing and Yang Wei soon sent back the news.
First is Wang Huan.
The imperial court also knew that the situation was a bit urgent, and repeatedly instructed him to ride to Hangzhou on horseback, not to be greedy for comfort, and went south by boat.
Wang Huan did indeed ride a horse, did not stop all the way, and went south to Hangzhou in a simple manner.
However, when he arrived in Hangzhou, he was surrounded by a large group of merchants.
These people are really in a hurry.
Think about the wide range of goods purchased by the maritime merchants in Hangzhou, not only to the other side, but also to the countries of the South China Sea and the Great Food. From porcelain, tea, silk, paper, and medicinal herbs to oil umbrella handkerchiefs and all kinds of daily necessities. It can be said to be all-encompassing. The price of the contract signed by the two parties alone reached 2 million yuan.
However, because of the monsoon future, they were placed together in the warehouse of the city shipping company and were not moved on the ship. Now that the fleet is gone, all these goods are in storage.
Even the Gao family was also implicated, why, bamboo paper!
But Wen Yanbo is a giant, even the stewards of the Gao family can only dare to be angry but dare not speak.
Therefore, I heard that the imperial court engraved the imperial history Wang Huan as a lieutenant envoy. Re-investigating the case, these businessmen surrounded one by one, trying to find out Wang Huan's tone.
If the imperial court did not execute Wen Yanbo, then it had to pinch its nose, regardless of the heavy losses, and send these merchant goods back, or sell them in Hangzhou with the advantage of the Grand Canal, but so many commercial goods were thrown into the market at once, and it is conceivable that one by one will lose their families and people.
If the imperial court is in charge of Wen Yanbo. Transfer Wen Yanbo away, then they can still have a life. Pay some storage fees in advance, put the goods in storage, and then send a representative to persuade the fleet to go to Mizhou, and sail into Hangzhou Bay when it goes south, and take these goods with you. There will be losses in this way, but it is better than shipping it back.
There are also bold people who directly said that Wen Yanbo's approach is very inappropriate.
Wang Huan smiled bitterly, that's that simple.
He prevaricated and began to investigate.
But something new is coming.
And immigrants.
In general, there is the fear of the sea, and there is a complete departure from the well, and now it is not a time of desperation, and ordinary people are still reluctant to migrate to the other side.
If it weren't for the fact that the other side used the post department to constantly send money and letters to the interior, maybe when there was no way out, not many people would be willing to go to the other side.
Therefore, these people who came to the port and were ready to migrate can be said to be desperate.
Before he came, he sold the family's pitiful possessions, including the house and the farmland.
Now the maritime merchants let them go back, and Wen Yanbo also let them go back, but how to go back.
So they stayed in the port together, and many people stupidly said to the officials of Hangzhou, you should persuade them to come back.
This is not a small number of people, nearly 10,000 people, Wen Yanbo was also made very miserable by these people, so he ordered the officials to let them say to these people, don't count on Hangzhou, you go to Quanzhou.
But here comes the problem again, this is not Wang Ju's previous life, along the highway, take a long-distance bus, and arrive in Quanzhou in less than ten hours.
Let these people walk step by step, after walking these two thousand miles, to what day?
Fortunately, the seafarers built a grass hut for them and left a lot of food, otherwise these 10,000 people would have made a fuss, and Hangzhou would be in chaos now.
Wang Huan saw this situation and persuaded Wen Yanbo for a long time, Hangzhou is not counting on it, the weather has not cooled down yet, just right, no matter how late, as soon as the weather is cold, there will be a big incident. Therefore, Wen Yanbo was persuaded to take out some money and food from Hangzhou to subsidize them, and then send a guide to take them to Quanzhou.
Although 10,000 people is not a small number, it is better than the dense crowd of immigrants in the Port of Michigan.
Then as long as tens of thousands of dollars and grain, these people will also take the initiative to go south.
However, Wen Yanbo was very displeased, tens of thousands of dollars, it was really tens of thousands of dollars, it was really not a people's fat and people's ointment, why did he give it to someone who went to the other side! used the other side as an excuse to send Wang Huan away.
Wang Huan sneered in his heart, tens of thousands of dollars are a lot, but it's just your salary for a year, is it really more important than nearly 10,000 lives? It's just that they went to the other side, aren't they Song people?
But he was helpless, because he had no right to take care of it.
So the investigation began, and Li Jiaerlang was abducted by Haike, but there were still some witnesses in Hangzhou, such as Xiuxiu, and a few passers-by who were watching.
Soon Wang Huan found out the problem, the beating must have been beaten, and the house slave was indeed beaten very lightly, otherwise he would not let others help him back. But the problem is that the courtyard where Xiuxiu is located is more than four miles away from the Li family, and if the spleen is broken, it is impossible to help it back.
Wang Huan hasn't come back yet, but he just wrote down what he saw, heard, and found one by one, handed it with a special foot, and sent it to the capital.
Not to mention the murder itself, Wen Yanbo's attitude towards these immigrants is a big problem.
On the other side, Han Jinqing and Yang Wei also arrived at Mizhou Port.
The two of them were stunned at first, not the number of migratory people, but the super ships with six mainsails moored in the harbor.
How many tonnage did the largest wooden ship in ancient China reach, this may be a mystery, because once the ship reaches more than 1,000 tons, there are few shipwrecks, so the sunken ships salvaged by later generations are mostly hundreds of tons, and the legendary Zheng He's treasure ship is how big it is, Wang Ju is not clear.
Later, however, many of the wooden seagoing vessels in Europe were more than 2,000 tons.
But it was a European sea ship after the first industrial revolution, and the technology of all parties was more mature, so these sea ships of more than 2,000 tons had a strong visual impact on both of them.
But thinking about their longevity, the two sighed.
Wen Yanbo dared to come nonsense, but they didn't dare, so they took the initiative to get on the boat and began to investigate.
In fact, it is not at all what Fan Chunren imagined.
At first, several people were indeed kidnapped by force and put on the ship, but after the ship left, they separated and locked up in a small sealed black room, and it was not said that they were going to Michigan.
Several people were confined and thought that the ship was sailing to the other side, so the next day, without any punishment, they confessed in full.
Even how many illegal things Li Jiaerlang had done, he told them all one by one.
After getting the confession, the maritime merchants were angry and came up to punch and kick.
However, this use of force was after the confession, and had nothing to do with torture and interrogation. or confinement...... In this day and age, who can know how powerful the little black room is?
Han Jinqing interrogated him personally, and it was still the case, basically this was all the truth, so he wrote down the experience and sent it to the capital on a fast horse.
Well, here's the big problem. (To be continued.) )
